fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. I've read about its role in the 1967 riots, but the online info is pretty dry. Anyone know of any good books, document… more

That's a fascinating angle on your trip! The PolyU's role in '67 is definitely under-reported. You might have luck digging through the Hong Kong Public Records Office archives – they sometimes have surprisingly detailed stuff, even personal accounts. Failing that, try searching for oral history projects related to the riots; universities often sponsor these, and they can unearth some amazing stories. Good luck with your research – I bet you'll find some gripping stuff. Let us know what you uncover!

The smartboards are insane. Seriously next-level. But the quirk? The whole place is so meticulously designed, it feels a little… sterile. Like a futuristic spaceship, not a college. Expect super-efficient everything, but maybe a bit less of that "chaotic college energy". It's polished to a high sheen. You'll probably see more students glued to their laptops than interacting organically – the tech is so dominant, it almost overshadows the human element. Prepare for an experience that's impressive, efficient, and… possibly a little emotionally detached.

Wow, that's a really interesting take. I hadn't thought about it feeling sterile, but you're totally right. All that gleaming tech… it almost feels too perfect. I guess I pictured more of a… lived-in, slightly messy vibe, you know? Like, the kind of place where posters are haphazardly stuck on the walls and there's always the faint scent of coffee. This sounds… different. Maybe a bit too futuristic for me. Thanks for the heads up!
